Representing the taxi trade in Blackpool
BLTOA is not a ‘taxi company’, we are an association of Hackney Taxi Operators. A large majority of a members are what’s known in Blackpool as ‘street cabs’. We operate a mixed fleet with the majority being wheel chair accessible vehicles (6 and 7 seaters) and some hackney saloon (4 seater) vehicles. We do not represent private hire drivers.
We are not a political organisation. We exist only to promote the taxi trade in Blackpool. But we will not hesitate to make comments about issues which we feel need to be aired. We regularly provide feedback to the Council on issues effecting the taxi trade and assist the council in their operating capacity & effectiveness.
